Legislation Bonanza - North Dakota Paragraph

The North Dakota bill, HB 1202, is one paragraph long and it only mandates that a study be performed. It's a quick read.

Here it is, with my comments inserted.

SECTION 1. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STUDY - REPORT TO LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. The department of transportation, in collaboration and consultation with the autonomous vehicle technology industry [Obnoxious editor's note: You do not need "the ... industry" to study this], shall study the use of vehicles equipped with automated driving systems on the highways in this state and the data or information stored or gathered by the use of those vehicles [Obnoxious editor's note: A previous North Dakota bill was concerned about the privacy and cybersecurity of driverless-generated data]. The study must include a review of current laws dealing with licensing, registration, insurance, data ownership and use, and inspection and how they should apply to vehicles equipped with automated driving systems. The department of transportation shall report its findings and recommendations, together with any legislation required to implement the recommendations, to the sixty-sixth legislative assembly."
